I had a great time with my daughters. My oldest is such a nice person and I like her and miss her so much.
I learned that I really have to get enough sleep. She's a college student - you think she sleeps? Her pace is about 100 times mine. She walks all over campus, and lives on the 3rd floor. I was physically beat, and mentally over loaded. Finally, on Sat night, they were going to watch a movie starting at 10PM. While they were getting ready for that (it took about an hour...) I fell asleep on her bed (well, I was 3/4 asleep and chose not to wake up). So I went to bed considerably before they did, and I felt a lot better on Sunday. Somehow (even at home) I just don't get enough sleep. This weekend underscored how important that is.
My youngest daughter (15) had that "I'm bored and you are making me miserable" look on her face the whole time. She said almost nothing, wouldn't make any decisions (and we asked her so she would feel more included). When we landed in our home state, though, she started talking and talked the whole hour on the way home from the airport. Teens are strange!!!
Tired, but happy.
